This makes me wonder whats going to start happening with Ebay now who are ditching paypal for money paid directly into the bank.
Better for sellers or for buyers?

You sent someone money for something off Facebook marketplace?
You need help.
Sometimes I wonder why scammers bother, surely it's so blindingly obvious what they're up to, no-one could possible fall for it. Here we are
You need help understanding how FB marketplace works?

Better for Ebay as they now take 12.5% final fee plus most listing options are now chargeable, 50p for adding buy it now for example.

You sent money over facebook market place? REALLY?
Soldato
I'm happy to sell on Facebook, because I trust myself. Only bought one thing non-local on Facebook, and that's because the guy asked for £15 on sometihing worth £40, and only asked for a £5 to put it in the post (then either a further £5 if it didn't work, or £10 if it did). Figured a scammer surely isn't going to bother running a scam for a £5, and even if they did, **** it, I'll live.
Seeing a ton of scam posts on facebook at the moment though, 3070 cards for £650 (crazy that that is a scam!) with comments turned off, hacked accounts I assume.

I actually was victim to such a scam a while back but on Amazon Marketplace.
Some random China shop had loads of PC parts listed and had a bunch of 9700Ks at a high undercut which I thought was due to lower prices in China, and didn't mind waiting longer for delivery.
They listed 10 days for dispatch, 30 days for delivery but I wasn't in a rush and could wait ... They basically hoarded all the money from the sales in the first 10 days then sent out fake tracking numbers. Amazon refunded ofc.

aaaaand stolen from my porch before I'd even gotten home as the seller didn't even cover the box up.
Spent all day in the hospital yesterday (long term illness treatment) and now I've gotta send out my PC bundle today in between puking up blood meaning I'm without a PC, scammed out of GPU, had new PC stolen, been made redundant again and all of that is in the last week.
I'm ******* broken right now

Well they say that bad luck comes in three’s so that’s yours over with.

I was thinking the opposite! It'd end up being a winning lottery number in a hunger games lottery!
Sorry dude, that's a truly ****** week. If you want to talk to a random off the internet, feel free to open a private conversation with me.
Thanks all, even just having a type about it helps.
@Unseul that's a kind offer, if I do need to I will.

I mean...who dafug sends PC parts just in their box and not at least wrapped in a plastic bag or something.
Seller is almost as much to blame.

I'm lucky I didn't have a stolen delivery yesterday.
I got a 3080 delivered by DPD. On the website I left instructions to leave it in the front porch. When i was out I got a message saying delivered and it was left in the porch. Got home half an hour later and it was just sitting on the frigging doorstep!!
